Soloist, Tenor

Jonathan Tetelman

Chilean-American · 1988

Jonathan Tetelman was born in Castro, Chile, in 1988 and was adopted as a baby by American parents who raised him in New Jersey. He began as a baritone, studying at the Manhattan School of Music, and made the transition to tenor during graduate studies at the Mannes School of Music. He has since become one of the most sought-after tenors in Italian and French opera, in roles such as Rodolfo, Cavaradossi, Pinkerton, Alfredo, Werther and Loris Ipanov in Giordano’s Fedora, at houses including the Royal Opera House, the Metropolitan Opera, the Vienna State Opera and the Deutsche Oper Berlin. He records exclusively for Deutsche Grammophon: his debut album Arias (2022) won him an OPUS KLASSIK Young Artist award, and The Great Puccini (2023) received a Gramophone Award.
